There was no special lettering, and I think they were lease cars. Anyway, the car would be spotted on their spur, and the crew would be careful to leave chocks under the wheels on one end. When the car was empty the boys would pull it down in the yard where the drain plug was opened and about 50 gals. of uncut wine would run into waiting containers. Man.
